SALAWA ABENI set for Gentle Lady remix

WAKA music exponent, Queen Salawa Abeni, is set for the remix of one of her hit song, Gentle Lady.

The Nation gathered that the new song was produced by fast-rising producer and artiste, Dre Stick, at Beverly Studio, Ojudu Berger.

The remix of the song features her rapper son, Sheriff Ilori, popularly called Big Sheff. The young act is signed under Candiva Signature Empire, the record label run by his sister.

The Waka Queen, who is gradually bouncing back to the music industry after a long break, is thankful to God for where she is today, despite her poor educational background.

Salawa, as she is fondly called, began her music career when she released her debut album, Late General Muritala Ramat Mohammed , in 1976 on the stable of Leader Records. It turned out to be the first album by a Nigerian female artiste to sell over a million copies in Nigeria.

Abeni continued recording for Leader until 1986, when she ended a relationship with the record label’s owner, Lateef Adepoju.

She married Kollington Ayinla and joined his record label instead, staying with him until 1994.

She was crowned “Queen of Waka Music” by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi in 1992.
